When we pay attention to nature's music, we find that everything on the Earth contributes to its harmony.
Hazrat Inayat Khan

People in the world wish to make things rigid, things which are of the finest nature which words cannot explain. When a person describes the hereafter, it is just like wanting to weigh the soul or photograph the spirit. I personally think that you must be able to realize yourself what the hereafter is. You must not depend upon my words.
